Gatherings
I started hosting these because I realized how hard it can be to meet people as an adult.
Sometimes you just need a reason to leave the house.
To make something.
To have a conversation that isn't about work.
To try something new.
Whether we're journaling at sunset or painting by the ocean, these gatherings are intentionally small, relaxed, and welcoming. You don't need to be artistic. You don't need to know anyone. You don't even have to talk if you don't want to.
Just come as you are.
Most gatherings take place in Santa Monica and Venice, with new dates added throughout the year.
Beach Painting Experiences
No art experience required.
We'll gather by the ocean in Santa Monica with everything you need to create your own abstract painting while enjoying the fresh air, good conversation, and a slower pace.
This isn't an art class.
It's an invitation to spend a few hours making something just because it's fun :)
You'll leave with your finished painting, new connections, and a reminder that creativity doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful.
Sunset Journal Circles
No journaling experience required.
We'll gather by the ocean in Santa Monica as the sun sets, with a guided journal centered around a different theme each month; Connection, Self-Compassion, Letting Go, or Clarity & Confidence.
This isn't a therapy session.
It's an invitation to slow down, reflect, and spend an evening with good people asking better questions.
You'll leave with your journal to continue using long after the evening ends, meaningful conversations (if you want them), and a little more clarity than you arrived with.
